If you’re caught plagiarizing, you can be punished by your school, fired from your job, or even have your career ruined. 
But what about legal consequences? Is it possible for a plagiarist to get sued or, even worse, face criminal action? The answer is that, it depends on the nature of the plagiarism.
Why does plagiarism matter?

Plagiarism is a breach of academic integrity. It is a principle of intellectual honesty that all members of the academic community should acknowledge their debt to the originators of the ideas, words, and data which form the basis for their own work.
However, there are some works that are not protected by the copyright law. These works are covered by Public Domain and Fair Use.
Thanks for watching!

Remember!

Good Artists borrow. 
Great Artists never steal.
